About the Author

Author Emily Pierce shares her journey from struggling with weight to losing 120 pounds through the keto diet. Her focus on whole foods and fulfillment led her to create recipes featured in this cookbook and on her blog, Keto Copy. She also hosts the podcast "The Keto Happy Hour."

What’s Inside

In The Frugal Keto Cookbook, author Emily Pierce emphasizes the cost-saving benefits of cooking with whole foods. While many cookbooks promote whole ingredients, this book shines in showcasing simple, delicious recipes made from scratch with everyday pantry staples. The glossy 168-page book features chapters such as Money-Saving Mains, Super Frugal Soups and Salads, and Dough-Stretching Desserts.

The book offers tips on using less expensive ingredients, like cooking cheaper cuts of meat and utilizing whole chickens to save money. While some recipes call for pricier ingredients like pancetta and Boursin cheese, the results are worth the investment, providing a gourmet experience at a fraction of the cost.

From Firehouse Chili to Chocolate Donuts, the recipes in this cookbook offer keto-friendly versions of familiar favorites. The practical and approachable nature of these recipes ensures quick and delicious meals with minimal effort.

However, a downside for those tracking macros is the absence of nutritional information in the recipes. If you need to monitor your macros, you'll have to calculate them independently.
